About Me

I received my MFA from the Burren College of Art in Ireland working in sculpture and photography.

After becoming a mother I began illustrating as I have a huge love for storybooks and whimsical illustration.

Two years ago, my little family and I moved into a trailer and stories just started pouring in.

My process

I’m inspired by my children’s love for wild adventures, animals and plaid fashion.


I work mostly in watercolour, gouache and color pencils drawing animals, children and magical places.
